[jChasseur and Cuba Bloodhounds.] 
THE BLOODHOUND. 
" Conscious of the recent stains, his heart 
Beats quick; his snuffling nose, his active tail, 
Attest his joy : then with deep opening mouth, 
That makes the welkin tremble, he proclaims 
Th' audacious felon. " 
The Bloodhound is taller than the old English hound, 
most beautifully formed, and superior to every other 
kind in activity, speed, and sagacity. It is commonly 
of a reddish or brown colour, with long ears. It seldom 
barks, except in the chase : and never leaves its game 
until it has caught and killed it.
